But will the inherit foreign nature of crypto deter the wider demographics?

When posting or enjoying Reddit, 4Chan, Slashdot and the all the other social bulletin boards throughout the decades, no one had to then learn about STEEM, Steem Power, Steem Dollars, Reputation, Followers, Whales/Minnows, etc.

And as SteemIt community tries to grow in breadth, there already appear to be dozens of new side projects like chainBB that involve RocketChat, Discord, and a level of attention well beyond what Slashdot and Reddit ask.

The current crypto-myopia seems dangerous.
